Hmmm... I think I'm being misunderstood here.
I didn't say I "don't mind your numerous
postings," I said I WELCOME them.
Now there's a difference there, subtle perhaps, but to
anyone with an IQ over about 75 I would think fairly distinct.
Is it possible that maybe...just...maybe...the Wonderfully
Sage, Eminently Knowledgeable, Regulars on this forum might just -- now follow
me closely here because this gets a little complicated --- might just.,...l.e.a.r.n
s.o.m.e.t.h.i.n.g. from one of these "new Coupers?"
Golly, I know that's a VERY unusual approach to our
forum. and quite unsettling because We Have Things The Way They Ought To Be, and
that's that!
How do you know this woman isn't an astronaut? Or a
high-time jet jock with more hours crawling out of the Officer's Club Bar on
her hands and knees than you had sitting on your diydie being toilet trained?
Or who was herding piles junk around the sky when you were sucking your pink
toes?
Well, that as may be, I really want to be accepted
here into this august group, so I respectfully request that you all please bear
with me. I'm trying my hardest to acquire the same arrogant, supercilious condescension
that we've shown to
I promise eventually to reach the level of world-class
putz, but it takes awhile to get really good at it. Never fear, though, a few
more lessons and I'll be slammin' these newcomers right along with the best of
us.
Reading
back over my remarks, I suspect I don't fit in here as well as I should and I
humbly apologise for that lack of seamlessness, but - silly me! - I have this
foolish old notion about learning from others that I just can't seem to get rid
of. That's how I learned to fly, from others. That's how I stay alive in the
air, learning from others.
So
if my idea -- that instead of being Dispensers Of Wisdom we might actually
learn from a new arrival -- is too radical , then please just put it down to my
own ignorance and naiveté. I always figured part of being a pilot was sharing
with other pilots, but...nah, stupid idea. Forget I mentioned it.
Thanks from my heart for your kind help and continuing
patience in this matter.

I'm sure you have only the best of intensions at
heart with your numerous
postings. None the less, your wish to share them with
the world is not
appreciated by many. I would suggest that you set up
a website of your own
with what you feel is pertinant information, so those
wishing to be informed
with that which you feel is important can check your
site at will. As nice
as it is to have new coupers show up, by the same
token it would be
considered polite to observe and learn for at least a
reasonable time to see
the slant of things being discussed by the long term
members. Though some
have commented that they don't mind your numerous
postings, many, including
myself, feel they are an imposition on the general
Ercoupe talk. It's like
going to visit someone for the first time and monopolizing
the conversation.
It's just not done! As I said, I would suggest that
subjects other than
coupes, be on a different site. Most of us aren't
snobs or sexist, we just
want to ramble on about our favorite planes. Hope you
take this as
constructive, as that is how it's meant.

Don,
How very little you know me. I'd already agreed to to
do this exact
thing ("digest mode") in the future as soon
as I read the responses.
Methinks you project onto others too much your own
intransigence to
compromise, without ever making an attempt to get to
know them as
individuals. I personally am always willing to learn
and grow and
improve, and I am open to reasonable suggestions on
just how to do
this.
